You’re likely familiar with the evidence for the fine-tuning of the universe, and you may be aware that there are several cosmological models attempting to explain away that fine-tuning, including the popular multiverse hypothesis. But did you know an ID scientist has developed a scientifically rigorous method for scoring those models? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a two-part conversation with philosopher of physics Bruce Gordon and physicist Brian Miller about Gordon’s scoring system and how it evaluates the many models on offer that might explain the origin and development of the universe. This is Part 1 of 2.

The Missing 20 Years: What Designer Science Left Out

Is the intelligent design movement a short-lived phenomenon that has come and gone? Or is its steady and consistent growth evidence of a flourishing scientific program? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid concludes his conversation with Dr. Casey Luskin about his critique of a recent book called Designer Science that portrays the ID movement as a short-lived political, cultural, and religious phenomenon that has produced little new research in the last two decades. In Part 2, Luskin turns to another major problem: Designer Science almost entirely ignores the last twenty years of ID scientific research and novel arguments. As the book gets retracted by the publisher, Luskin corrects the record in this conversation. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation.

You are warmly invited to an evening lecture and discussion on “Science & Faith: Friends or Foes?” The event will explore the relationship between Christian faith and natural science. Dr. Casey Luskin (a scientist) and Dr. Steve Dilley (a philosopher) will present complementary views on the topic. Dr. Dilley will survey four different models about how science and faith are said to relate to each other. Dr. Luskin will then provide an in-depth examination of scientific evidence that supports belief in a Creator. Together, they will illuminate why and how science and faith are friends, rather than foes. The event is co-sponsored by Open Door Ministry Presbyterian Church (Mount Prospect, IL) and Discovery Institute (Seattle, WA). No …
